We all know that salt is not particularly good for our health, yet it still remains one of the main ingredients in our dishes. Read on to find out how you can replace salt with healthier options when preparing food.

Garlic

Garlic is a healthy spice that is great for immunity and blood pressure, so you can’t go wrong if you cut back on salt and increase the amount of garlic in a recipe. This trick is especially useful for preparing vegan or vegetarian dishes.

Lemon Juice

Lemon juice, or even lemon zest, is the perfect ingredient for replacing salt, because of its strong citrus flavor. Lemon juice can be used not only in salad dressings, but also for veggie dishes, chicken, fish and soups.

Rutina mea de dimineata incepe cu un pahar de apa cu lamaie! 🍋 Lamaile sunt nelipsite la noi in casa, asa ca m-am decis sa le fac o poza draguta. Hidratarea este foarte importanta, de aceea, pentru a atinge tinta de minimum 2 litri de lichide pe zi, trebuie sa incepem de dimineata. Inainte de a lua micul dejun, beau 1 – 2 pahare de apa. Adaug suc de lamaie proaspat, pentru un efect de hidratare, energizare, de asemenea, ma ajuta sa am o digestie mai usoara. Stiu ca multi dintre voi nu pot incepe ziua fara o cana de cafea. Conform unui studiu, ca sa te bucuri pe deplin de efectele cafeinei, se zice ca e bine sa amanam ceasca magica de cafea minimum doua ore dupa ce ne trezim. Corpul nostru, ca sa se trezeasca dimineata, elibereaza mai mult cortizol, un hormon cu un rol esential in procesele organismului. Daca bem cafeaua la prima ora ne suprasolicitam si riscam sa ne lasam nivelurile de energie sa pice mult mai repede. In orice caz subiectul cu apa cu lamaia este unul controversat, dar pe mine aceasta rutina m-a ajutat sa fiu mai organizata si pregatita pentru o noua zi. Care este rutina voastra de dimineata? _________ #lemon #lemons #lemonjuice #lemonade #lemon🍋 #water #drinkwater #morning #morningmotivation #morningvibes #morningroutine #starttheday #healthylifestyle #healthyroutine #foodphotography #flatlay #withlemon #photography #photooftheday #goodmorning #goodmood #photographylovers
